Chapter 1017: Chapter 645: Three Clans’ Prodigies, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Cang Jue never imagined that on a mere whim, participating in the Netherworld Palace trial, he would encounter such an interesting event.

The hatred between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan was as deep as the sea.

As the son of the Demon Lord, he grew up listening to the glorious deeds of his father.

For instance, with a wave of his hand, his father would annihilate millions of living creatures of the Human Clan, collecting countless grievances and deathly aura to enhance his cultivation.

Or single-handedly, he would face over a dozen Human Clan cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm, not only holding his ground but also slaying several Primordial Spirit Great Powers, shaking the entire Heavenly Origin Great World.

Such achievements made Cang Jue idolize his father from a young age, always wanting to emulate his father by slaughtering the Human Clan as effortlessly as cutting vegetables, with a mere wave devastating thousands.

However, in the past few centuries, due to certain reasons, both sides maintained a sort of restraint, with severe conflicts becoming rare.

This led Cang Jue, who had been cultivating, to have hardly seen any Human Clan other than the few human slaves kept within his territory.

But those human slaves were akin to livestock, never daring to resist no matter how he tormented them, making them exceptionally dull.

Cang Jue had always longed to witness the true capabilities of Human Clan cultivators, wondering if they indeed possessed the rumored skills.

However, his father strictly ordered him not to step outside the Demon Clan’s territory, let alone venture into the Human Clan’s lands.

He had profound respect and awe for his father, the Demon Lord.

So despite his rebellious nature, fearing nothing under the sky, he dared not defy his father’s orders and sneak into Human Clan’s territories.

He originally thought this wish of his would have to wait until the next outbreak of conflict between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

Unexpectedly, on a whim, joining this Netherworld Palace trial, he encountered Human Clan cultivators.

Thinking that his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, Cang Jue couldn’t help but reveal an excited smile.

"Would you all be willing to follow me and annihilate the Human Clan in this space?"

Cang Jue suddenly turned around, lightly addressing the kneeling devils around him.

The surrounding devils were stunned at first, but then they all became spirited, shouting excitedly, "We are willing to follow Lord Cang Jue!"

...

Boom!

A loud noise shook the earth, and an endless suppressive force descended upon a group of variously shaped demon beasts, rendering them completely immobile.

Those with lesser strength were forced to the ground, their bones creaking, nearly breaking.

"Do you submit?"

A tall and sturdy man with drooping ears and an elephant trunk on his face spoke calmly.

"We submit, we submit, we are willing to offer our Trial Jade Talismans, we beg for mercy from the lord!"

The surrounding demon clans oppressed to the point of immobility hurriedly shouted.

In their hearts, they were even more shocked.

None of them anticipated that a mere trial for the outer disciples of the Netherworld Palace would draw a strong elephant clan warrior.

This was one of the twelve royal clans of the Demon Clan, and judging by the aura of this elephant clan warrior, he had surely reached the ninth turn of the Demon Core.

Why would such an exceptional power participate in the Netherworld Palace trial?

Though shocked, the demon clans dared not refuse to hand over their Trial Jade Talismans.

Otherwise, just the ever-increasing suppressive force would have been enough to crush them to mincemeat.

Having received dozens of Trial Jade Talismans, the elephant-trunk man also gazed into the distance.

"This time, the Netherworld Palace trial places powers from the three clans into the same secret realm. What are they planning?"

The elephant-trunk man recalled how he obtained the Trial Jade Talisman, feeling a growing sense of wariness.

Back then, he unintentionally learned of the Netherworld Palace trial, driven by curiosity, wanting to experience it.

But now, he intuitively sensed something unusual.

He felt as if a pair of large hands were manipulating events from the shadows.

After pondering for a while without any conclusion, he had to give up.

Now, having entered this secret realm, he could only take it one step at a time.

He was confident that, given his strength, passing this trial shouldn’t be too difficult.

...

Swish!

A Sword Light flashed past, splitting the earth, the sword mark unfathomably deep, exuding a sharp aura that changed the countenance of dozens of cultivators.

"Hand over your Trial Jade Talismans; as fellow Human Clan cultivators, I don’t wish to cause unnecessary slaughter."

A young man in a Star Daoist Robe casually released a Sword Light and spoke flatly.

Beside him stood a veiled woman, her figure graceful, her demeanor cool.

If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize them as the Daoist from Daoxu Temple and the Holy Daughter from Biluo Palace, who he had once seen in the Tianshu Divine Mountain secret realm.

Listening to the words of the Star Daoist Robe youth and seeing the frightening crack on the ground.

The expressions of the Human Clan cultivators changed several times, ultimately handing over their Trial Jade Talismans in resignation.

If outside, they might dare to protest; the presence of the Holy Alliance might deter the other party from slaughtering their own kind.

But now, they were in the trial space of the Netherworld Palace.

In here, no matter what happened, the Holy Alliance held no sway.

Even if the opponent killed them all, the Holy Alliance probably wouldn’t intervene.

After collecting the Trial Jade Talismans handed over by the cultivators, the Daoist of Daoxu Temple handed half to the Holy Daughter from Biluo Palace beside him.
